Drivers on Hwy. 108 in Lynn Thursday morning noticed a recent addition to a controversial billboard located by the Skyuka Rd. intersection. The graffiti references Paul’s epistle to the Galatians, Chapter 6:7. The organization PlantingPeace.org placed the billboard in response to the North Carolina legislature’s passing of HB2, known widely for its bathroom provision. The Bulletin placed a photo of the billboard on its Facebook page on April 9 and it received more than 5,000 shares and reached 606,000 people, generating local, regional, national and international news coverage. To comment on or share the before and after photos, visit the Tryon Daily Bulletin’s Facebook page. (Photo by Leah Justice)
